Don’t have any stats for your enemies, just roll a d20 before combat and that’s how many rounds it takes to defeat them.

I saw your tag about not being happy with the use of the word bipolar. But in that case it just means that it is driven by forces at either end of the spectrum: ie the taxi industry is fuelled mostly by people who can't afford to drive, and rich people, its not being used in a joking way.

people tend to use the term bipolar in an inaccurate and often negative way (ie if they really mean unpredictable, moody, etc.) which is disrespectful to people who actually have bipolar disorder. in this case it was a little less objectionable since they were just trying to say ‘at two extremes’ or ‘at opposite ends’ or whatever, but nonetheless it seems like an unnecessary and rather disrespectful use of the word. idk maybe I’m being too sensitive but I see the word ‘bipolar’ get thrown around a lot by people who don’t seem to understand that it’s actually a mental illness and just think it sounds cool or something, which sucks, so.

edit: it’s been pointed out to me that ‘bipolar’ is actually a standard technical term in statistics (and chemistry and presumably other fields), so it’s clear to me now that that’s how the writer meant it and there’s no problem with that. learned something new today!

Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag ten friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know you’ve tagged them
